This looks very non-robust. What stops the second person from keeping it all? They only paid 1/n, after all. And shipping it all to the third person is such a pain. Also, they might’ve broken or used up or lost or had a cat chew on the cables of one thing. It would make more sense for the first person to pay for it themselves, and then each person pay the previous person for whatever they have. The consolidated collection is worth more than the parts individually, so it’s still valuable even after being used. The first person to kick off the item-donation circle has to put capital at risk, of course, but one could use a dominant assurance contract to pool capital to buy it for them.
